St. Joseph, Crestline

I'll be posting some pictures of St. Joseph's over the next couple days. They were provided to us by Daniel DeGreve, who's working with the parish on renovation plans. Sounds interesting. I'll look forward to seeing how this progresses. You'll find links to pages discussing the plans at the parish WEBSITE I'll have more to say in the next post.



I really like this. I'm just not sure I like it as an altarpiece.
